Hellinger Optimal Criterion and 𝓗𝑷𝑨- Optimum Designs for Model Discrimination and Probability-Based Optimality

Abstract

Kullback-Leibler (KL) optimality criterion has been considered in the literature for model discrimination. However, Hellinger distance has many advantages rather than KL-distance. For that reason, in this paper a new criterion based on the Hellinger distance named by Hellinger (ℋ) -optimality criterion is proposed to discriminate between two rival models. An equivalence theorem is proved for this criterion. Furthermore, a new compound criterion is constructed that possess both discrimination and a high probability of desired outcome properties. Discrimination between binary and Logistic GLM are suggested based on the new criteria.
